The Role
We’re looking for an enthusiastic, organised, and people-focused Office Administrator to join our Brisbane office. If you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, love variety, and enjoy making things run seamlessly, this is the role for you. You’ll be the central hub of our Brisbane office, supporting engineers, leaders, and the wider team, so everything operates efficiently and effectively.

- Team Support: Help maintain a positive, connected team culture, assist with health and safety, marketing, and general administrative tasks.
- Project Support: Provide support to engineers and senior managers and take ownership of opportunities to grow into areas such as project coordination or document control. Assist the Office Manager with ad hoc tasks to keep everything running smoothly.
About You
We’re after a proactive, professional all-rounder who thrives on variety and enjoys being the go-to person who gets things done with a smile. You’ll bring:
- At least 2 years’ administration experience (experience in professional services or engineering is a bonus).
- Excellent communication skills and confidence to build rapport at all levels.
- The ability to juggle multiple tasks and prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong Microsoft Office skills.
- Outstanding organisation and attention to detail with a proactive, can-do attitude.
- Adaptability and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a close-knit team.
